Joe Bongiovi is the principal of Bongiovi Dispute Resolutions, a law firm with a practice limited to alternative dispute resolution - mediation and arbitration. Mr. Bongiovi was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and has been a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, since 1970. He graduated from UNLV with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and then received his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law having earned honors in trial advocacy while in attendance. He is admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in Nevada and before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Mr. Bongiovi has carried an "A/V-Preeminent" rating from Martindale-Hubbell since 2000. In April 2006, Mr. Bongiovi was also listed among "The Lawdragon 500 Leading Judges in America" following a national survey of lawyers and judges by the Lawdragon publication. In 2007, he was accepted as a Fellow of the American College of Civil Trial Mediators.
